Mother Teresa of Calcutta, the Nobel
laureate who dedicated her life to
helping the poorest of the poor, will be
made a saint of the Roman Catholic
Church in September 2016, an Italian
Catholic newspaper reported on
Thursday.
Avvenire, the official newspaper of the
Italian Catholic bishops conference,
said on its website that Pope Francis
had earlier on Thursday approved a
decree recognising a miracle attributed
to her intercession with God.
Mother Teresa, who died in 1997 at the
age of 87, was beatified in 2003 by the
late Pope John Paul. Beatification,
which requires one miracle, is the last
step before sainthood.
Avvenire said the second miracle
attributed to the intercession of
Mother Teresa, which is required for
canonisation, involved the inexplicable
healing of a man who was suffering
from a deadly brain disease.
